No one wants to receive a Fair Housing complaint, and Equal Opportunity Employment claims are just as cumbersome.

But what actually happens when a claim is filed? What steps must we take to make sure that our defense will be successful?

This basic class provides an overview of the Colorado Civil Rights Division's enforcement of the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act. The class will include a discussion of the division's processes and procedures, as well as an overview of the areas that are covered by the act-- specifically, discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations.

Who should come?

All staff with resident interaction

Conflict between residents is one of the most complex and aggravating of concerns. When is it a liability to get involved, and when is it a liability not to? Who should get involved, and who should stay out of it altogether? What is within the bounds of confidentiality, and when is it a police or protective matter?

Over more than two decades in the housing industry, Maureen Morley has dealt with resident conflict as both a property manager and a regional coordinator. This class will deal with the good, bad, and ugly of real-life situations. You will benefit from Maureen's humor, professionalism, and insight as you negotiate the choppy waters of inter-resident affairs.
